Fortunately, you can disable this UI change through Flags. Because of the change, Videostream couldn’t properly call up the UI that lets you choose a casting device. So, I did some research and found the cause and fix eventually, thanks to this Reddit post.īasically what happened is that Google has mode some updates on the UI of the casting function in recent releases. I used VLC’s Chromecast support for a few times but it doesn’t always work as smoothly as Videostream. Reinstalling Videostream didn’t help, nor resetting the Firewall settings. It works flawlessly for as long as I can remember until recently where the screen just hung there after I selected the video file to stream and didn’t go anywhere. Videostream for Chromecast is a Chrome app that lets you stream videos from your local computer to any Chromecast available on your network.
